Hi Jerry, First, Stephenson is not one of my lines, but since I am a little stuck on my lines at the moment, I did a few searches to see what I could find. You may already have what I found, but I'll send along. WorldConnect has one entry that shows Joshua Wyatt Stephenson b. 3/7/1807 in Wade Co., N.C., d. Feb, 1880 in Bon Aqua, Hickman Co., TN., married Louisa Cade b. 1809 in N.C. 1860 Hickman County Census, Dist. 6, Household #913: J. W. Stevenson 56 NC (That would make Joshua b. about 1804.) Louiza 51 NC L.E. 9 TN Nancy CLYMER 20 TN In Household #919: Living in household of Charles Dargherty-- James M. Stephenson 27 TN Mary L. Stevenson 16 TN I'm sure you have the FamilySearch.com--has Joshua b. abt. 1805. There was a Joshua Stephenson in the War of 1812, 2 Rg't. (Evan's) Virginia Militia. Not the one referenced above, but could be a relative. Also found Joshua W. Stephenson, Private in Civil War, F Co., 36 Indiana Infantry, enlisted 23 Oct 1861, discharged 24 Feb 1863--fought for the Union. Did a search on Ancestry.com for Joshua Stephenson and under "Compiled Genealogy", got to the FamilyHistory.com Message Board (which is part of the free area), and had 5 threads listed. Two or three of these seem to be the family you are working on and mention Joshua and Isaac Owen Stephenson. One of the submitters has posted her e-mail address. I just typed this from a few rough notes, so you may find an error; however, if any of this is new for you and you don't find any of the above, let me know and I will re-check. Hope it might help a little, and happy hunting! Velma
